Snarky Puppy combines a variety of jazz idioms, rock, world music, and funk, and represents the convergence of many different music cultures from around the world. After over a decade of relentless touring and recording in all but complete obscurity, including their last performance in Victoria as a part of TD JazzFest 2015, this super-collective suddenly found itself held up by the press and public as one of the major figures in the jazz world. With as many as 20 members in regular rotation, four Grammy awards (“Best R&B Performance” in 2014, “Best Contemporary Instrumental Album” in 2016, 2017, and 2021), and multiple Reader’s and Critic’s Poll Awards from JazzTimes and DownBeat Magazine, the defining characteristic of Snarky Puppy’s music is the joy of performing together in the perpetual push to grow creatively.
